Hernia Surgery in Hyderabad
Modern hernia repair with mesh - laparoscopic where possible - for inguinal, umbilical, incisional, ventral and hiatus hernias.
What is Hernia Surgery?
A hernia is a bulge of tissue or organ through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Untreated, hernias usually grow and can become painful or strangulated, an emergency. Repair involves returning the contents and reinforcing the wall with a mesh. Most repairs today are done laparoscopically as day-care or 24-hour stay.
